    There was talk of injury, but the guy made 30 errors (more than his 2 previous years combined) along with being close to a dud on offense. He also sucked the last year of his 4 year deal while in Detroit. (BTW, I never said he was a worse signing than HRam & Pablito, but $40M back in 2005 was like $60M now.) My point was meant to show that we've made bad signings for years. Anyone who signs as many guts as we do, have plenty of busts.

    He wasn't built for the spotlight of Boston. Plus, we got Coco Crisp via 2 trades.
  3. moonslav59
    I'm weeks and weeks away from even thinking about demoting Devers.
  4. moonslav59
    Exactly. While I do think Swihart has a chance to shine, the drying over him never getting a chance is bukk cah cah. We've given him more chances than his play has deserved. (He was .810 back in 2014, and some are gah-gah based on that?

    We paid Renteria $40M for 1 year. It was worse than Horrid.
  6. moonslav59
    ...and teams that sign more free agents have more bad ones (and okay ones and good ones).
  7. moonslav59
    That was a horrible signing period. The Crawford and Renteria signings were horrid as well. Lugo, Offerman, Masterson...

    I'm not for spending $30+M on Harper or Machado. I would pay Betts $30M x 10 this winter as an extension that begins after his control years end. (I'd pay him $18M for 2019 and $22M for 2020 to buy out his arb years). I'd try to keep Sale, too, but having 3 guys making over $30M is probably undo-able.

    Do you remember Lester Lackey, Ellsbury, Damon, Pedro and lets add Beltre to the mix. You PAY Players who can perform here. I remember it was a great move not to re-sign Ellsbury, Damon and Pedro.

    If Wight has put up good numbers this year, I'd be happy with him starting game 3 or 4 in the playoffs.

    I'm a sponsor- you could be too
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, it's my opinion. I looked at our schedule and saw our NL games are spread out nicely- about every 4 weeks. I felt that was just about right, but I don't know what was promised to JD when we signed him.

    [/b] Because it's a great site.

    I never said Betts or nothing. My plan would be not to trade Betts. I'd try to sign him, but if he bolts, I'd take the comp pick and use the Betts money somewhere else. It's not complicated.

    Castillo with a 2-run HR tonight. Shepherd 6 IP 0 ER Lin goes 2 for 4. Dalbec 2 for 4 with a double. Mata 5 IP 2 ER (4 BB).
  16. moonslav59
    He should have only played the OF in NL parks from day one. That's not hindsight on my behalf.

    Yes, singla A ball, and people are upset he's not great every month.
  19. moonslav59
    Just my opinion. I could end up being wrong. It wouldn't be the first time. I don't go by short sample sizes, sohim looking bad recently doesn't worry me too much. He's just a kid. He's 21 and has a career .752 OPS in about 450 PAs. I'm sticking with my projection of greatness, but that doesn't mean this year.
  20. moonslav59
    Should have used Holt in RF, JD at DH and Vaz on the bench.
  21. moonslav59
    Hurst, Tudor & Ojeda is the last time I remember having 3 lefties close to this good.
  22. moonslav59
    Both wild card teams are pretty much lucky to even get a chance at moving on, even if one has the second best record in the league. In the old days, just two made it, and often the guy in second place in one division had a better record than the winner from the other. Was that fair? I hate the 1 game play-in, but it's better than making every body wait 5-6 days to play, and it's better than just having 4 teams make the playoffs. There's 30 teams now. 4 out of 30 is rough on 26 teams.
  23. moonslav59
    Agreed.
  24. moonslav59
    I can't go along with any plan that does not include Betts. I want to keep Sale, too. If we win a ring, I'd be okay with looking to trade Porcello and maybe Bogey. Devers is too far away to even consider. I would not pay Kimbrel. Again, assuming we win this year.
  25. moonslav59
    Will JD's price tag really go up all that much as he gets years older? It is hard to imagine any team carrying 4 massive contracts and still being deep enough to be highly competitive. Right now, Sale and Betts combined cost as much as one big contract. You need guys like Betts, making little money, to balance out the big contracts. Who is our next Betts? Devers? $33M Betts $32M Sale $31M Price $25M JD. That's $110M for just 4 guys. That's about half the luxury tax budget.
